1 tsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• 2

  Grate the zucchini and squeeze it firmly in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much moisture as possible.

• 3

  In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, squeezed zucchini, almond flour, parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.

• 4

  Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat to ensure a tender texture.

• 5

  Roll the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

• 6

  Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the tops are lightly golden.

• 7

  While the meatballs bake, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

• 8

  Toss the cooked meatballs in the warm sauce and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
